Watering is the top reason plants struggle. Instead of rigid schedules, match water to light, pot size, and soil mix so roots stay healthy.
Use the finger test: when the top inch of soil is dry, water thoroughly until excess drains. Succulents and cacti prefer more dry time; thirsty tropicals like monstera and calathea prefer consistent moisture but never soggy soil.
Overwatering shows up as yellowing leaves, mushy stems, and fungus gnats. Underwatering shows crispy edges and wilt that recovers quickly after watering.
Group plants by need, use room-temperature water in the morning, and ensure pots have drainage holes. Remove any standing water from saucers after ten minutes.
In Fylora, identify your plant to get species-specific guidance and set reminders so your watering stays consistent even when life gets busy.
